You cannot just get the square of the ratio of the diagonals since the screens are not square. Sorry, the old geek is closer than your calculation. But anyway, still what’s going on with him? Is that a new or old apple strategy?

Last time I saw him, mere months ago, he was gaunt to the point of Dachau-level emaciation. Either he’s been chowing down on deep-fried cheese curds at every opportunity since then or Techland delved deep into its collection of stock photos for this one.

By the way, Steve, 7/10 squared is 49%, not 45%. I know you always tend to err in favor of Apple, but would it really have killed you to say “about half as big” instead of shaving that extra 4% off? What, you think we’re too dumb to do the math ourselves?

Arguing with developers. Arguing with college students. Then yesterday:

quoting Jobs “The first thing most of us think about when we hear the word ‘open’ is Windows”

Uhm – what? We think “the window was left open” is that what he meant? LOL

It’s just hilarious because he’s talking about open source, of course, and the only people that care about that are programmers, and I don’t think they think of Windows, but Linux or Android – that’s more commonly associated with open source.
